Know Before You Go This Thanksgiving Day Long Weekend
(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 10/03/12 -- As you prepare to spend time with family and friends this holiday long weekend, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) reminds you to familiarize yourself with these time-saving tips before crossing the border. Be prepared for higher traveller volumes by planning ahead. Here's what you should know:
Bring the correct travel documents.
- All adults and children who are travelling must have proper identification. Children under the age of 16 can present an original or copy of their birth certificate. If travelling with children, have their identification ready to show (picture ID, birth certificate, passport, etc.) and a letter of permission for any child who is travelling without their parents or with a non-custodial parent.
- Use your card and save time at land, air and marine ports of entry when entering Canada or the United States. Visit for more information or to apply for a membership.
- A passport is the preferable piece of identification for entry into Canada. Other acceptable identification includes an enhanced driver's licence, a birth certificate with accompanying photo ID such as a regular driver's licence, a permanent resident card, a citizenship card or a certificate of Indian status, a NEXUS card or Free and Secure Trade (FAST) card when travelling by land or boat.
